  Lori is amazing!!

  There are no words to express how grateful we are for Lori. She is PHENOMENAL! She helped keep our planning on track and always seemed to be exactly where we needed her despite having to be in what seemed like 4 different locations at once on our wedding day. Lori made our day flow flawlessly and took so much stress off of us. She always seemed to know exactly what we needed, even if we weren’t sure!
  
  Lori was so patient with me and was willing to use her creativity to set up our decorations, even when I had no idea what I wanted it to look like. Lori’s creativity and eye for detail made the aesthetic of our wedding beautiful beyond our expectations.
  
  Our original date was postponed due to COVID and Lori was there to help us through the added stress and logistics of changing our date. She was so supportive and always knew the right thing to say to help us get through it. We could not have had such a great experience without her.

  Excellent and Perfect Coordinator!

  Everything about our perfect wedding day went beautifully, and one of the biggest reasons why is because of our day-of coordinator: Lori! She is absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! From start to finish Lori was so thoughtful, detail oriented, and compassionate about what our vision for our day was and bringing it to life.
  
  Throughout our time working with Lori she was a dream. She would send us checklists and outlines of our progress and what information and details we still needed to provide and accomplish. These reminders allowed us to review and tweak our vision to ensure that our day would be exactly the way we pictured it. She also provided us with some items for the venue like table numbers, props for set up, and even went out to buy our niece and nephew gifts to reward them for a job well done after they walked down the aisle as our ring bearers.
  
  We should note that Lori was so knowledgeable about working as a coordinator of an LGBT wedding as well. She was so kind and sensitive to the differences between a gay wedding and a more traditional wedding and we appreciated her sensitivity to this along the way. Lori is truly a part of our family now! We look forward to coming back and seeing her and catching up because she is just the type of person that you can’t get enough of!
  
  Thank you Lori and the whole Perfect Plan team (Karen!) for making our day perfect!

  We had such specific needs for a wedding planner. We wanted a gorgeous, elegant wedding and we needed someone to lead us in the right direction. Lori was laid backed and flexible which fit the needs of both my husband and I. She also was detail oriented, organized, and so helpful. She had so many resources and connections. We are so appreciative of all she did to make our day perfect. One of my favorite stories of the night, was when I walked over to Lori to ask if the lights could be turned down a bit. Literally, as the words were coming out of my mouth the lights were already going down. She was always one step ahead of me!

  I cannot say enough good things about Lori. She is a true life saver and I could not imagine my wedding day without her. Her emergency kit saved my wedding party more than once during the day. Her expertise and knowledge helped the day go so smoothly. She made sure the reception space was perfect and I didn't have to check on anything. Lori interacted with all of my vendors and made sure that everyone was on schedule. I was relaxed on my wedding day!!! Relaxed! If you are thinking about a wedding day planner definitely do it and choose Lori because she is truly a master of her craft. Thanks for you help making our day amazing!!!!

  Lori brought 25+ years of event planning experience to our daughter's wedding to make it the Perfect Day. She helped us pull a wedding together on very short notice so that we could include the groom's father. She was very understanding of such a tenuous situation, a wonderful shoulder to lean on. Her connection with wedding vendors in the area is extensive and she had wonderful recommendations from the minister to where to buy dresses off the rack. Having her plan out and implement the day from start to finish, including the rehearsal was wonderful. We appreciated how easy it was to communicate with her, and her responses were always very quick, even when her schedule was very full and busy. She made us feel that our daughter's wedding was every bit as important as all other events she was working on. Her special day ran very smoothly from the morning preparations, through the ceremony, till the closing song at the reception. The other vendors we selected for our daughter's wedding commented on how they liked working with Lori.

  We used Lori Hemphill to help us plan my daughter's wedding. She was filled with great ideas, lots of energy and fun, and thought of many details that I would have overlooked. I would never do a wedding without her. The planning was superb but even better was her dedication to us the week and day of the wedding! I was able to enjoy the wedding as much as my daughter and knew that she had it under control and kept everything running smoothly. I would not have changed a thing!! I did not find her fees expensive, and in my opinion, she was worth every penny and then some! Great Job Lori!!!

  I do not know how many brides can say their wedding day was the most care-free and enjoyable days of their lives, but I certainly can - all thanks to Lori and her fantastic team. My family and I agree that Lori was the best investment we made in the entire wedding. Based on my experience my number one piece of advice to any bride would be to hire a coordinator; and if you are getting married in Central PA, you better make it Lori!
  
  Lori was there for us from the beginning. She offers a variety of packages, and I chose one that included coordination and assistance with the planning process. I did the picking, and she helped guide me to keep me on track and make recommendations and suggestions. She kept site visits running smoothly and joined me for a few of the vendor visits as well. When the craziness of the week before the wedding began to set in, she took the helm, handling last-minute vendor coordination and putting together a phenomenal schedule for everyone.
  
  From start to finish, I never had to worry about a thing on my wedding day! Lori took care of making sure the reception was set up and perfectly decorated, while her assistant joined us for hair, make-up, and getting dressed. The assistant even had a coloring book on hand to keep my very rambunctious flower girl entertained.
  
  Lori kept the event (which we were told by MANY friends and family was the best they'd ever been to... thanks in large part to Lori) running very smoothly. They went above and beyond, even helping to pat me down with some small towels when I got sweaty on the dance floor.
  
  A testament to how great Lori was: My sister said that the FIRST thing she will do when she is engaged (she isn't even dating at this point...) will be to call Lori.

  We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE...Lori! She is a "must have" for any bride. I hired Lori for not only the day of coordinating...but the whole planning process. She attended all my vendor meetings with me such as the florist, invitation designer, reception hall, cake decorater, etc. She has years of experience in interior design and the wedding industry, so she brings a level of expertise that not many people can offer. Planning a wedding can cause a bride to go on an emotional roller coaster. Lori was always a "phone call" away to calm me down and put everything back into perspective..or to celebrate good news! On the day of the wedding she had a couple very sweet assistants working with her to make sure everything went smoothly. I don't know what I would have done without Lori's help during the planning process & the day of the wedding.
  Our wedding turned out to be absolutely stunning and I didn't have to worry about a thing!
  
  Thank you Lori for everything...you are an angel!
  XXXOOO

  We cannot say enough about Lori. She was extremely helpful throughout our planning process. The day of the wedding ran smoothly because she was in charge. She thought of everything. She even had 2 assistants and an intern to help us on our special day.
  
  She is an awesome planner. We live in NY and had our wedding in Lancaster, so things got a little hectic. We wouldn't have been able to have the most amazing weekend wedding of our dreams in Lancaster if it wasn't for her.
